They keep saying 25MPH but it looks so fast on the TV. I haven’t seen the helicopters. The way it’s deflating I wonder if it could turn over? That would be bad.

I have to use caption on TV so miss ‘things’ when I’m posting, lol.

You have to remember that a helicopter is orbiting this thing to give you a picture. Relative motion when the copter is going in the opposite direction of the balloon’s path will make it appear to be moving faster than it’s actual speed.
